WINTER AND SPRING TOURS 

TO 

WASHINGTON 

VIA 

Pennsylvania Railroad. 



THE three-day tours to Washington outlined 
in the following pages provide the most eco- 
nomical and satisfactory means of seeing the 
National Capital ever presented. They are naturally 
among the most popular of the personally- conducted 
tours arranged for by the Pennsylvania Railroad 
Company. 

Washington is a city endeared to every American. 
It wears the laurel wreath of honor as the handsom- 
est city in America, and is one of the most beautiful 
capitals in the world. A visit to no other point in 
the East gives so much in return as a review of the 
beautiful buildings and interesting 'Departments of 
Washington. 

The series of six tours, covering the winter and 
spring of 1899-1900, offers to the people of Connect- 
icut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and 
Delaware an exceptional chance to familiarize them- 
selves with the Nation's Capital. 

The rates are phenomenally low for the service ren- 
dered. The feature of a railroad company assuming 



all the details and incidental arrangements necessary 
to the perfect enjoyment of a short vacation is a 
high mark in the evolution of modern travel. The 
personally-conducted tours of the Pennsylvania Rail- 
road are always carried out in the highest grade of 
excellence. 



THE DATES SELECTED. 
Kor 1899 

Thursday, December 2S. 

Kor 1900

A number of additional features have been added 
to these deservedly popular tours. While the tours 
proper cover a period of three days, all tickets will 
be good to return on regular trains within ten days, 
including going date, and to stop off at Baltimore and 
Philadelphia on the return trip within this limit. 

Tickets for these tours cover transportation for the 
round trip, transfer of passenger and baggage from 
the station to hotels on the going trip, accommoda- 
tions at Washington hotels for two days, and, if re- 
turning with the party on the third day, supper at 
Philadelphia in connection with tickets from Trenton 
and stations east thereof. 

Two sets of rates will be in effect: the higher rates 
for acconmiodations at the Arlington, Normandie,

accommodations at Willard's, Regent, National, and 
Metropolitan Hotels. In all other respects the two 
forms of tickets will be identical. 

The following rates will be in effect, with rates for 
children under twelve years of age $4.00 more than 
one-half the rates for the Arlington, Normandie, 
Riggs, and the Ebbitt House, and I2. 75 more for 
Willard's, Regent, National, and Metropolitan Ho- 
tels :—

Rates via Market Street Wharf do not include transfer of pas- 
senger or baggage through Philadelphia. 

On application rates will be quoted and tickets furnished from 
other stations. 



Tourists will travel in special trains of Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad Standard Coaches, in which the entire 
trip is made. They will be under the personal escort 
of the Tourist Agent and Chaperon, the Tourist Agent 
having entire charge of the train and all of the ar- 
rangements for the entertainment of the party en 
route and in Washington. He will look after their 
comfort, direct their movements in Washington in or- 
der that they may visit the different Departments and 
buildings during proper hours and thus waste no 
valuable time, and render all the aid in his power to 
make the trip agreeable and profitable. The Chaperon 
is especially charged with the care of the ladies. She 
will be their companion and guide, so that ladies who 
may be without escort need not hesitate to join the 
party. As shown on page 6, tickets cover the ex- 
pense of round-trip transportation, meals en ronte, 
and hotel accommodation during the stay in Wash- 
ington, so that participants need provide themselves 
with no funds beyond such as they may deem nec- 
essary for street-car fare, side trips, incidentals, or 
chance purchases. 

Rooms are reserved when tickets are purchased ; 
therefore our patrons can readily appreciate the ad- 
visability of early application for membership with 
any particular party. Application should be made 
not later than one day prior to departure of tour. 

The amount paid for tickets purchased in advance 
but not used will be cheerfully and promptly re- 
funded, provided tickets are returned prior to de- 
parture of tour. Unused coupons of partly used 



lO 

tickets cannot be redeemed, except those for trans- 
portation under the usual rules. 

The usual amount of baggage may be checked 
on these special tickets, viz., 150 pounds on whole 
tickets and 75 pounds on half (children's) tickets. 

SPECIAL HOTEL RATES. 

All tickets will be good to return from Washington 
on regular trains, except the Pennsylvania Limited, 
within ten days, including date of tour leaving New 
York. Holders of such tour tickets will be accorded 
special rates after expiration of hotel coupons and 
within the ten-day limit. Full particulars can be ob- 
tained on application to Tourist Agent in charge. 

SIDE TRIPS. 

On the second day of each tour a trip will be made 
to Mount Vernon by special cars, and tickets for this 
trip, including admission to the grounds, can be ob- 
tained from Tourist Agent in charge, at rate of 75 
cents. 

Holders of the tour tickets to Washington can, 
upon application to Pennsylvania Railroad Agents at 
Washington, purchase excursion tickets, limited to 
the life of the original tour tickets, from Washington 
via all rail line to Old Point Comfort at $6.00, and to 
Richmond, Va., at 14.00 ; and on application to agents 
of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company, 
from Washington to Old Point Comfort and Norfolk, 
Va., and return, at I3.50, not including meals and 
state-room berths.
